Great, just as I finally make friends I have to shell out £60 for antibiotics and now can't afford to go out with them. F*** everything.

Am now lying on a sunbed with an alcopop and a bucketload of Tramadol, so feeling a bit better.

Anyway I'm off to the beach to sulk and look at beautiful scenery and mong out on Valium.

And your point is? Why not wait for whatever sham of an official report comes out before speculating?

I didn't speculate anything or even say anything excepts share some her own words the week before she died which shows drugs she was taking.

Then again speculating to you might be the official reports too if they don't say what you want them to.

It looks like there was also two men in bar fight over her on the 15th

There would have been witnesses in the bar if there was a physical fight. Let's be hearing from them. Let it not be hushed up as with David and Hannah.

JTJ propaganda no less.

"So my night ended with two men I repeatedly told I wasn't interested in getting in a bar fight over me. Broken ribs and noses. Intense." Twitter post 15th Jan.

Do you have a link to that.

[NCFC]

It's amazing how so many of you jump to conclusions without knowing anything.

I feel the two Burmese are scapegoats, but this poor young girl could have died for any number of reasons. No details of the cause of death.

Let's just wait, hope and pray that there is no foul play.

The fact that after 4 days the police have released zero info of the circumstances wreaks of foul play and antibiotics don't kill neither does partying on holiday - all the info so far is coming from none local sources

She had been taking Valium, Tramadol and antibiotics with alcohol; overdoses of the first two with alcohol can cause death.

And you know this because ?

We know this because she twittered this information before she died.

The UK Daily Telegraph have a report:

[xygote]

You're the one that was making the AC bar posts when the two kids got murdered aren't you? I think I asked if you were posting on behalf of those animals at the AC bar? Guess this answers that question

All these Koh Tao apologists have some form of vested interest in the island, covered in other threads.

JohnThailandJohn too if I recall, can't find a link I'm sure others will confirm.

I think, by admission, that JTJ is a dive master on Koh Tao, or owns a dive shop, or maybe just a dive?

Anyway, I don't think he's doing very well due to these "suicides/unfortunate deaths". Maybe because he is too busy as an RTP shill and posting under several IDs on this thread every time anyone questions his beloved RTP.

[fishingforsquid]

Nah, JTJ lives in Bangkok, check out his voluminous posts, it will give you some insight into the legend.

[iTravelNow]

RIP to the young lady and condolences to her family and friends.

Be interesting to see how this one progresses after the previous fiasco

Case already solved - perpetrators already in prison - case already in court

But for some reason you didn't quote the post saying two men had been in a fight over her. Why? Did it not fit with your version of the "facts?"

The goings on in Koh Tao need independent, external investigation. There are too many suspicious deaths. This just being the latest.

Condolences to the family of the deceased. I hope they get clear answers of what happened.

[cgphuket]

Including the french man who committed "suicide" after beating himself up and tying his own hands behind his back, that makes at least 4 murders this season. More tourist deaths on that island than in Bangkok. Whats it take to get a real investigation???

[pizzachang]

Lots of wild speculation here, based on what? Koh Tao is a wonderful place and maybe if tourists lose interest, it will be even more relaxing to vacation there. I've noticed that people die everywhere in Thailand, every day, from various causes and some are very nasty deaths. In a nation of 63 million, with millions of foreign tourists, the statistics are pointing to 'not much chance of being killed in Thailand' - as say opposed to Mexico or Brazil. From what I see first hand, from the general behavior of a percentage of foreign tourists, there is a larger amount of 'risky' behavior. Risky can mean lots of different things but personally, I don't expect to be able to behave as if there are no 'limits', while on 'vacation'.

[jlwilliamsjr18]

So, what does it take, for a real inquiry into the doings of Koh Tao?

The island should be CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, AKA CENSORED!

[greenchair]

It is interesting to me that suicide was ruled to the french before an autopsy. One wonders if an autopsy was even done.

Then to famous doctors make public news statements to say suicide was not likely.

Now this girl embassy, family and police are saying natural causes, but she only passed yesterday. So unlikely an autopsy and toxology reports would be completed. I would have these questions. Who were the nice friends she made?

Who were the 2 guys who fought over her?

Why was she found naked?

Who found her?

Why was the person who found her suspicious and go into her room?

Unless she was sharing with a friend .

if she died from consuming valium and other drugs , then it is not natural causes. It is accidental drug overdose.

So already one can find many discrepancies in the stories.

Just like, David was not killed by the hoe.

The frenchy died under suspicious circumstances.

And the Swiss guy who just completed a master dive course did not commit suicide.

[Thai at Heart]

But apparently, someone pointing out that it might be incredibly statistically dangerous might be anti thai

[kkup]

So JTJ is implying her death was related to taking tramadol and valium... But her Mum says it was natural causes.. Me confused.

Mexico and Brazil, they are your risk assessment comparisons?

Lordy, lordy, lordy........

RIP!

I have said this before, the island has a serial killer. And he is just enjoying this!! Expecting another? WAKE UP THAILAND AND DO SOMETHING!!!

UPDATE:

Former Ukip youth leader dies in Thailand

Libertarian 'free spirit' found by resort staff after seeking treatment for chest infection

LONDON: -- A 23-year-old libertarian campaigner and Ukip supporter has died on a backpacking holiday in Thailand.

Christina Annesley, the former vice-chair of the Yorkshire branch of Ukip’s youth wing, was said by her family to have died of natural causes after seeking treatment for a chest infection.

Hundreds of people – including right-of-centre political figures – paid tribute to Ms Annesley yesterday after her mother Margaret, 55, announced her death on Facebook, saying: “We have lost our beautiful daughter Chrissie of natural causes.

“We are totally devastated. We love you so much darling. Rest in peace.”

The right-wing blogger Guido Fawkes said: “A sad day in libertarian circles. The one-time Tory turned ‘Kipper’ turned vocal free spirit was a regular on the young right-wing scene and was just 23 years old.”

What are these natural causes they speak of? Only Buddha knows how the parents can be satisfied with that answer.

[Oziex1]

Does any one have the facts to this case, I think not, and thats why the headline is Mystery Death.

Try and stay calm until facts emerge.

[Rangsitreppin]

next time i goto koh tao ill buy a one way ticket just in case

[Trentham]

Just to be clear, this is not the 3rd death but the 5th in around a year. There was a British guy who mysteriously died around Christmas 2013. Lets not forget the french guy last month who 'hung himself' after tying his hands together.

This is a small island and the probability of 5 foreigners murdered/ disappeared/died under mysterious circumstances must be fairly astronomical.

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to detect a pattern here.

I understand that the body of another Westerner was recently found floating in the sea just off Koh Tao also. That would make 6 deaths.

It takes a new government. Wait, that already happened. There will be no real investigation.

[SoFarAndNear]

How naive those teens are to still go to that place. A small island and already a dozen of murdered or dead tourists in the last 18 months. How the hell you still can go there...

[kkup]

6 tourists under 40 years old all dead on 1 island in 5 months. Where else in the world does that happen?

[thedoctor]

23, two weeks heavy drinking, Gap year tourist, intelligent young free thinking motivated woman,

Mother tells her to Cheat on your boyfriend if it makes you feel better,[[,Nice one mother ]] but hope he doesn't read that...

when are these young people going to ever wake up ,, stop the binge drinking.. stop the drugs

or you will pay for it in the end,,

[Seligne2]

Distasteful speculation from those with their own agendas. Why not just wait for the facts?

555! And who do you suppose will give us the "facts"?

[empireboy]

Condolences to the family and friends.

So sorry for the abysmal Thai reporting once again. NO DETAILS of how she died.

This island needs a name change to KOH BEWARE!

"Dear family and friends, please be prepared for a lot of confusing and entirely unreliable stories and little or no truth from the authorities. Thailand remains in the 'Dark Ages' on this score. Please get British investigators and reporters here ASAP. It's the only way you can have some assurance of knowing the truth about your beloved!"
